Question

One part of the problem-solving strategy for balancing chemical equations is "starting with the most complicated molecule.”What if you started with a different molecule? Could you still eventually balance the chemical equation? How would this approach be different from the suggested technique?

Short answer

No change in the balanced equation.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of chemical reaction

A balanced chemical reaction is a reaction when a particular number of molecules react with a particular number of molecules of another compound.

If you start with complicated molecule, based on thetype of reactants combined,products are formed. Then,using suggested technique, chemical reaction is balanced.

Explanation of chemical reaction

One mole of any compound means Avogadro's number of molecules of that compound. When both the compounds are taken in moles, their ratios result in mutual cancellation of the Avogadro’s number and gives same value as that of molecular ratio.

Conclusion

So, there will be no change in the balanced equation.
